In a statement earlier this week Pingree said, "Throughout the election, Donald Trump proved so, making disparaging comments about everyone from women to minorities to the disabled. But what he’s done since the election goes to another level. He’s shown no interest in holding a foreign power accountable for interference in our democracy; he’s put his business interests ahead of the country’s; he’s tweeted threats about people’s civil liberties; and he belittled civil rights hero Representative John Lewis."

A band from Madawaska played at a ceremony Thursday.

Two of the state’s leading Green Independent Party members vow to become socialists, because the director of the band is the secretary of their party.

The band director said playing at the inauguration is about history, not politics.

Some of the hundreds of thousands of people were expected to fill the nation's capital for the inauguration said they planned to do their best do disrupt the day.

"Honored to attend today’s inauguration and witness the 58th peaceful transfer of power, a hallmark of our democracy," Collins tweeted.

"Today, we witnessed a hallmark of American democracy: the peaceful transition of power from one Administration to the next. As President Trump begins his new Administration, I wish him the best, because if he succeeds, then our country succeeds,” Sen. King said in a statement. “In the Senate, I will continue to fight for Maine’s interests – to expand access to broadband, combat the opioid crisis, cut federal red tape, defend affordable and accessible health care, and promote economic growth and job creation, particularly in rural Maine.

“As we undertake the important task of governing, I hope President Trump and Congress can work together to heal the divisions in America, restore confidence in our government, and deliver positive results for the American people," King said.
